Notes
Variations
- Use apple juice. Can’t find fresh pressed apple cider? Use apple juice instead. Use the best quality apple juice you can find. Make sure it’s 100% apple juice!
- Change up the whiskey. Bourbon, not your cuppa tea? Substitute your favorite whiskey!
- Skip the bourbon and double the amount of apple cider for a virgin apple cider mocktail.
